And the period slang and dialogue can kind of throw you off a bit the first time through.
But watch it again and I guarantee you it will be about ten times better. It's my favorite Coen brothers film.

That's what I hate about most gangster films. The ones I've seen are mostly all like this. I have an extremely difficult time remembering names and faces in general, so when there's a movie that relies on it so much it really fucks me up. Seriously, it takes me forever to actually be able to call people I know by their names because I am never sure if I remember them correctly. Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking it might be a serious problem. Or maybe it's that I just don't like people very much and I'm anti-social and I don't give a fuck what most people's names are and therefore I'm just not used to remembering names. But at any rate, I'm more able to put voices to faces than names to faces. There are movies that I'll love and be totally involved emotionally in, yet I wouldn't be able to tell you what the main character's first name was. Is that very common?
